Review of Linköping
Linköping
Flights to Linköping take you to one of Sweden's main university towns, packed with museums, and a Gothic cathedral. Out of the centre, boat rides along the Göta Canal take visitors through tranquil Swedish countryside.
Things to do
You can browse through centuries of art history at the Ostergotland County Museum, or revisit the past in pretty Old Linköping. Trips down Göta Canal provide views of the countryside, while Ekenäs Castle will transport you back to 17th-century Sweden.
Shopping
Central Filbytergallerian is the best spot to find Swedish designer fashions, while a trip to Linköping suburb Tornby promises budget finds. Be sure to wrap souvenirs of Swedish glassware carefully before boarding return flights from Linköping.
Restaurants
A Linköping holiday isn't complete without a taste of Swedish pickled herring or delicious grilled pike-perch. Connoisseurs will find both at refined Kanalkrogen restaurant. They are also available in more down-to-earth restaurants dotted around Linköping's centre.
Nightlife
Agatan street, in Linköping's centre, is the place to be as night falls, with its lively clubs and friendly bars, packed with locals. For classical music or ballet, book a ticket to Linköping's cultural hub, Konsert & Kongress.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Linköping. Visit in August for the Linköping Chamber Music Festival or plan an autumn trip for Linköping’s Jazz & Blues Festival in October.
